Reborn as the Harem King-Chapter 105 Commence The Odyssey[Part 2]

Wang Yuyan had an irresistibly fresh and endearing look about her.

When she smiled, two delicate dimples appeared on her cheeks, framed by a tiny pointed fang that peeked out just enough to be noticed.

Her eyes crinkled into soft crescents, reminiscent of a tranquil night sky dotted with stars.

Today, she stood out even more than usual. Dressed in a casual yet charming JK sailor uniform, her twin ponytails were tied off with playful bows that swayed gently whenever she tilted her head or spoke.

The overall effect was both youthful and captivating.

Zhou Yi broke the silence first, his voice calm but curious. "So, what exactly do you need from us?"

In response, Wang Yuyan pulled out her livestreaming account and showed it to the group. "I've recently started doing some part-time streaming to earn extra money," she explained, her tone tinged with a mix of excitement and nervousness. "I'm still new to this, so I really need to build up my follower count. Could you guys maybe follow me? Please? My guild has set targets for me, and I'm struggling to keep up."

With a slight pout, she pressed her hands together in a gesture of earnest pleading, her large, doe-like eyes locking onto theirs.

It was impossible not to feel charmed—and somewhat compelled—by her innocence and sincerity. Unsurprisingly, no one hesitated to oblige.

At this point, Gong Zi chimed in with a suggestion. "Why don't we create a group chat? That way, it'll be easier to stay connected." Although they already had an existing group, it included provincial leaders and members of their team, which made Gong Zi uncomfortable. She wanted something smaller, more private.

Once the new group was created, Wang Yuyan quickly shared her QR code within it. Her streaming handle, "Bunny Girl," currently boasted only a few dozen followers. Having only recently launched her channel, she was still in the crucial early stages of growing her audience.

Lu Youyou leaned forward, curiosity flickering in her gaze. "How many followers are you aiming for? Should I ask around and see if any of my friends can help spread the word?"

Wang Yuyan's face lit up instantly. With a bubbly enthusiasm, she looped her arm through Lu Youyou's. "Oh, yes, please! Thank you so much, Senior! My manager says I need at least a hundred followers. Everyone else in my group already has hundreds—even the other new streamers. I'm falling behind, and earlier today, one of the bigger streamers actually mocked me for not working hard enough."

Jiang Cong pushed his glasses further up his nose, his expression thoughtful. "So, you streamers have your own group chats? Is this to foster competition among yourselves?"

Wang Yuyan nodded vigorously. "Exactly. We're required to post our daily earnings in the group. If someone's numbers are low, it's pretty embarrassing. That's why everyone pushes themselves to the limit—some even stream all night long. My manager handles dozens of streamers, and many of them pull all-nighters regularly. Me? I can't compete with that kind of dedication. Sigh."

Zhou Yi glanced at her phone screen, where a top-tier streamer was showing off their earnings for the day: $33,000 USD. Despite the impressive figure, the streamer lamented that it wasn't high enough. Below the post was a snide comment mocking Wang Yuyan for her lack of effort and inability to attract followers.

Turning back to Wang Yuyan, Zhou Yi asked casually, "When do you plan to go live?"

The girl blinked her wide, expressive eyes, her cheeks flushing faintly as she stammered, "I haven't decided on a fixed schedule yet. I think I'll wait until after the competition to figure that out. For now, I'm just streaming sporadically to meet my guild's requirements."

Zhou Yi gave a brief nod. "Let me know when you do. I'll drop by to boost your viewer count."

Wang Yuyan gasped in delight, her eyes sparkling with gratitude. "Wow! Captain, you're too kind! My friends are going to be so jealous!"

Then, with a hopeful grin, she added, "By the way, Captain—I have a close friend who's a huge fan of yours. Would you mind signing something for her? I'd love to surprise her!"

Her eyes shimmered innocently, like those of a fawn caught in the glow of moonlight, evoking a protective tenderness in anyone who looked at her.

Zhou Yi, ever the charmer, found himself unable to resist such a sweet and lovely request and agreed without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Gong Zi observed Zhou Yi from the corner of her eye, her lips curling into a sly smile.

Her craving for a cigarette was growing stronger, but with the bus ride nearing its end, she had to hold off. She studied him intently, though it was unclear what thoughts ran through her mind.

Noticing her lingering gaze, Zhou Yi glanced back. Instead of averting her eyes, Gong Zi offered a teasing smirk, her fox-like gaze radiating subtle allure.

A moment later, she turned her attention to her phone, typing away in her private girls' group.

[Gong Zi: Girls, guess what? I'm competing alongside Zhou Yi this time. Bet I can have him wrapped around my finger in three days.]

[Peach Pe: Seriously? He's known to be super aloof. Lots of girls are into him. Three days might be pushing it.]

[Meng Qianqian: If Gong Zi sets her sights on a man, there's no way he escapes. Go get him! Waiting for your update.]

[Wang Haiai in the US: Zhou Yi seems different from the rest. Be careful—you might get burned.]

[Gong Zi: Relax. It's just a game. No harm done.]

[Peach Pe: Don't worry. With Gong Zi's looks and charm, no man stands a chance.]

Reading her friends' responses, Gong Zi couldn't help but smirk.

Rarely did she take an interest in men, but when she did, failure was not an option. Relationships weren't her goal—she simply enjoyed playing with emotions.

After luring her target in, she would abruptly withdraw, leaving them yearning but unfulfilled.

This cat-and-mouse game had become her signature move, leaving a trail of infatuated men in her wake. Now, Zhou Yi was her next challenge.

As they disembarked, Zhou Yi began helping carry luggage.

Seizing the opportunity, Gong Zi placed a delicate hand on his shoulder and flashed a coy smile. "Captain, would you mind helping me first? I've got quite a bit of stuff. Let Jiang Cong handle the seniors' bags."

Internally, Zhou Yi chuckled. This girl is definitely trying to flirt. "Why not ask Zhang Wei? He can carry multiple bags at once."

"But I want you to help me," she replied sweetly, her voice dripping with playful persuasion. "Please?"

"Alright, I'll help."

Gong Zi's type of beauty was rare—refined, confident, and undeniably magnetic.

Zhou Yi found himself intrigued.

As he reached for her suitcase, she mirrored his movement, placing her hand atop his on the handle.

Their fingers brushed lightly, and Zhou Yi raised his eyes to meet hers. Smiling enchantingly, she murmured, "It's a bit heavy. Let's carry it together."

Zhou Yi chuckled softly, and the two of them lifted the suitcase off the bus.

Their hotel was conveniently located near A University, with each person assigned their own room.

During the room allocation process, Gong Zi specifically requested to be placed next to Zhou Yi.

What others didn't notice was that their balconies were connected—a detail she intended to exploit.

The journey had left everyone exhausted, and by the time they arrived in A Province, it was late.

With the competition scheduled for two days later, they decided to spend the following day exploring the area.

After taking a shower, Zhou Yi prepared for bed when his phone buzzed with a message. It was from Gong Zi.

[Gong Zi: Captain, I have another favor to ask. Can you help me?]

[Zhou Yi: Sure. What is it?]

[Gong Zi: Meet me on the balcony.]

Drying his hair, Zhou Yi glanced outside. Standing on the balcony was a silhouette exuding quiet allure—it was Gong Zi. Without hesitation, he tossed his phone aside and stepped out onto the balcony.

Leaning casually against the railing, Gong Zi greeted him with a knowing smile. "Good evening, Captain."
